Bridge Rectifiers are available at Mouser Electronics from industry leading manufacturers. Mouser is an authorized distributor for many bridge rectifier manufacturers including Diodes Inc., Fairchild, IXYS, Rectron, Shindengen, Taiwan Semiconductor, Vishay & more.

Bridge rectifiers are discrete semiconductors that convert an input AC current into a DC current as an output. Bridge rectifiers feature four diodes in a bridge configuration that provides the same polarity of output voltage for either polarity of input voltage. A bridge rectifier provides full-wave rectification from a two-wire AC input, offering lower cost and weight compared to a rectifier with a 3-wire input from a transformer with a center-tapped secondary winding. They are used in a variety of applications, including portable electronic devices, switching power supplies, home appliances, and white goods.
